# '''Prepare''': These instructions are only for '''64-bit''' processor machines. (To identify the processor type, choose Apple menu > About This Mac. A small window will appear titled ''About This Mac''. The processor type is displayed in this window. Sugar on a Stick is for the Intel processor only.)<br><br>
The instructions below are based on the Ubuntu Web page at <http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx>.
# '''Download''' the latest [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads|Sugar on a Stick]] .iso file. Be sure to download a '''64-bit''' image.<br><br>

# '''Load''': <span style="background-color:#f9f6b7; padding: 10px; padding-left: 5px;">[[File:question.png|link=|middle]] '''Help: Does someone have a simple way to load a Live USB on a Mac?'''</span><br>Here is a simple way to recognize a bootable USB on a Mac.<br>Go to rEFIt (http://refit.sourceforge.net/) and make a bootable cd. There is no need to install rEFIt on your mac. In fact installing rEFIt may make it impossible to upgrade the Mac OS to a newer version later on (personal experience, I had to do a clean install). Put the rEFIt CD in and hold the option key after turning the computer on. The Mac will recognize the CD because it uses EFI and then the CD will recognize the bootable USB.<br>
# '''Download''' the latest [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads|Sugar on a Stick]] .iso file.<br><br>
# '''Load''': <br>Here is a simple way to load a bootable USB on a Mac.<br>
#: You can rename the .cdr file to .iso for use in GNU/Linux.
## Enter the Terminal: <code>/Applications/Utilities/Terminal</code>.
#* [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Macintosh#Building_a_bootable_Mac_USB_stick|Building and Booting a Live USB stick on a Mac]]<br><br>
## Type <code>diskutil list</code>. You should see all the disk drives you have inserted into your computer.
# '''Boot''': Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer. '''Is this correct?''': During the startup sound, press and hold the '''c''' key. If the Apple logo appears, Sugar is not booting. Restart and try again.
## Insert the disk drive to which you want to write Sugar on a Stick.
## Type <code>diskutil list</code> again. You should see that your USB drive has been added to the list. If not, wait a while and repeat.
## Type <code>hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o <<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>>.img <<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>></code> to convert the image into a bootable format.
## Type <code>sudo diskutil unmountDisk <<i>device name</i>></code> to unmount the disk (it will not be ejected).
## Type <code>sudo dd if=<<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>>.img.dmg of=<<i>device name</i>> bs=1m</code>. <code>sudo</code> will ask for your password, and then <code>dd</code> will start writing the disk file.
## When <code>dd</code> finishes writing the disk file, type <code>sudo diskutil eject <<i>device name</i>></code>.
# '''Boot''': Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer, then reboot and press and hold the Option key while rebooting. You should see a list of all the EFI-recognizable USB drives that can be bootstrapped. If Sugar on a Stick is not one such drive, it cannot be bootstrapped: you need rEFInd (a fork of rEFIt).<br>
